Root canal

#shorts Why do I need a root canal?
An animated video of why a tooth may need a root canal and what the root canal procedure entails. A cavity can reach the nerve chamber of a tooth. Once it is inside the nerve space the bacteria from the cavity will kill the nerve inside of the tooth, it can then spread to the jawbone and cause an abscess. To treat this situation, your dentist or endodontist will perform a root canal on the tooth. They will drill into the nerve space of the tooth and remove all of the dead nerve tissue with endodontic files. Once the tooth is thoroughly clean inside, the root canal space will be filled with a material called gutta percha. Afterwards, your dentist will cover the tooth with a dental crown to protect it.
If you'd like to learn more about root canals, I highly recommend the book "Pathways of the Pulp". amzn.to/3Zgc2XL

[@mystritzii4495]

To anyone scared. The numbing needles are the worst part. If you want to simulate that pain, give your self a quick pinch for not even a second. The only time it hurts is if the needle RARELY punctures your nerve. I’ve only had this happen once out of 11 teeth and the pain only lasts for about 5 seconds instead of 1. You’ll be fine so go fix your teeth before you regret it. The dentist gets paid and trained extensively to do these procedures so don’t give a thought about that

[@revolutionine]

my dentist put a q tip with benzocaine on my gums before he gave me the injection. i didn’t even feel the needle. proof there’s so much that can be done to make you feel comfortable during this procedure, you just need a good, compassionate doctor.

[@markmywords3817]

it was my 2nd root canal to a different dentist and boy i was so wrong about my expectations. the 1st one went smoothly (mostly just in injection at the beginning). The 2nd root canal was like a glimpse of hell on earth. It touched the nerve more than 3 times (i lost count) and everytime the dentist touches me, i was holding my breath. I tried getting my mind off of the pain by thinking of prime numbers and I could never get past 7 or 11 each time.

[@akeleven]

No, the worst part is 45 minutes of drilling. And then they didn't get the whole root

[@meateaw]

I've had teeth removed, and the anaesthetic didn't work. Luckily my dentist started the extraction, I said "ow" (wasn't too bad) he said: oh, that anaesthetic didn't work? Let's try again. (No pain after the second injection)

[@DCG909]

​@@akeleven During the initial treatment they thought I had 3 roots in each molar. A couple of weeks had to pass for them to have a slot to finish up the work at my regular dentist (or better said one of his colleagues specialised in root canals) they found out I had 4. Didn't have any problems with it, other than it being a little sensitive in near the end.

It’s not painful at all when the anaesthesia actually works but if it isn’t numbed correctly, you’ll be in for a tough time.

Reminder: if you’re a natural redhead, you might need extra anaesthesia. Get your dentist to check for any feeling in the numbed area before actually starting. Don’t be afraid to tell them if you feel ANYTHING, and do not agree to start the procedure until you’re confident that you’re fully numb.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

In dental school I was taught to watch out for people of Irish decent since they may need more anesthetic.

[@leocookies1844]

As a natural redhead who was had a root canal problem I can relate, my dentist had to inject my tooth twice to actually make my tooth numb, since the first time she was cleaning it, it felt like excruciating hell, believe me when I say, It was a pain I won't want upon even my worst enemy but hey, that was last year, at least now It's better.

Am I an exception tho… i am raven haired but I do have a very weak tolerance of pain… one time we go to the dentist, my mom’s in there with me thank God. The dentist said “it’s time the anaesthesia must have kick in by now” so i just followed and when she try to pull the teeth out. I feel an awful immense of pain, my eyes went completely white and my mom intervene there, telling the dentist to stop. The thing was my mouth felt numb indeed but idk why when the teeth get pulled out it’s like there’s no anaethesia effect at all. I’ve been scared to go to the dentist ever since. I’ve got 1 remaining impacted teeth now. But I still traumatize by that. I don’t have the courage going through it if I’m not fully down with general anaesthesia. But the dentist always told me it’s not necessary. Despite me telling what I’ve gone through previously… idk whether it’s me or that one dentist just didn’t make sure of that the effect already kick in or not

@nexul7261 pediatric dentists try not to pull back baby teeth unless they have too. If a posterior baby tooth is removed too early, it can affect the positions of the adult teeth later in life. It's common to do a pulpotomy (partial root canal) on baby teeth to help them stay in place. Front baby teeth can be extracted without affecting the adult teeth.

Not true, you will feel excruciating pain - local numbing doesn't cut it for that type of invasion of the tooth, some people need much stronger sedation though, some people do not respond well to local anaesthesia

Nope, it all depends on the tooth. Generally a normal root canal you shouldn't feel much. But if you have Red Root, which is an infection in the root novacaine doesn't hold as it should, and you end up feeling EVERYTHING. It is horrible and if you have an infection I Highly suggest you be knocked out for your procedure.

Take this from experience: *NEVER cheap out on a root canal. And ONLY let a dentist whom you place 110% trust in their skill to do it.* You don't have to worry about feeling pain because the numbing is the easy part. The hard part is getting that hollowed tooth FULLY disinfected. Otherwise, be like me after a few years with my one and only root canal, and suddenly one side of your gums are swollen with a big old abscess deep in the root of the tooth. The only option then is extraction, then bone grafts, then EXTRA bone grafts to fill in the boneless void the abscess left, and then wait about half a year it seems before we talk about implants. I'm currently in the recovery process with the bone grafts......... Be careful with your teeth, we only have one set.

For anyone getting a root canal.. I can guarantee you that this is NOT a painful procedure. It may look terrifying, but if you are in the position where you need a root canal you will be happy for the promise of relief it will bring. I had a root canal of the first tooth behind the upper canine. The nerve was practically dead so the dentist could actually perform a great bit of the root canal in a "first step" process without any anesthetic. He just told me to say whenever I could actually feel something. I felt nothing. Not a damn thing. Only when he was actually through the root could I feel anything.. and that was more like someone itching a spot that had been dying for a scratch. It was a GOOD feeling, but I let him know and because of that we stopped the treatment there. Two weeks later I returned for the full treatment, with the anesthetics and all the finishing touches - except there was no crown. The tooth is still the same tooth fully, with the exception of where he drilled. Again, if you need a root canal the pain you are currently experiencing is million times more painful than the treatment itself. Even if it's not painful, but more an annoyance. The treatment feels like.. honestly nothing. Maybe the teeth further back might be a bit more resistant to anesthetics, but the dentist has more than enough to make you not even feel being clobbered by Mike Tyson. A root canal is nothing for that anesthetic. Unfortunately the same lack of pain cannot be said for your wallet. It is an expensive procedure.. especially if you have more roots that need treatment.

I remember a couple of years ago I had a root canal infection. It was one of the worst pains I have ever felt (I have burst a testicle in an accident and that was nowhere near the same amount of pain as a root canal infection). It started a couple of months before, and it just was uncomfortable when i bit my teeth together (I have tourettes so this was quite common for me), and then it suddenly got worse. Everything hurt. Eating. Talking. Just closing your mouth in general. After 4 days, I couldn't sleep and my right ride of the face was swollen. Painkillers were not doing anything, so I called my dentist and booked an appointment, and she said that I needed to go down first thing in the morning. When I went to the dentist, she said it was so infected that they couldn't use local anesthesia, so she litterally had to drill a hole into my jaw to release a huge amount of puss. That was an amazing feeling. She said that this was urgent, it would have gotten way worse if I waited a day more. Luckily I had just turned 18 so it was covered by the state since I was still a minor (you are a minor the entire yesr you turn 18 here in some contexts). If not, it would have been extremely expensive.

The procedure could only have been described as traumatic, and to this day still makes me terrified. I was promised I wouldn't feel any pain. They put the gas thing on my nose, then numbed my ENTIRE mouth, and soon enough I was asleep. Next thing I remember is being half dragged out by my family because I couldn't properly move, it felt like I was paralyzed basically. I didn't feel any pain, at least. 😅 Fast forward about a day or two and I realize they didn't put a crown on my tooth. My family had told me it was because my insurance would not pay for it, since I was under 18. I soon started to feel a TON of pain, now that it wasn't numb anymore, and it became severely hard for me to eat or drink anything. Then, I felt a popping sound, followed by a crunch. My tooth, not being protected by a crown, had shattered. I had to go back to my actual dentist to schedule a time to get it surgically cut out, because there wasn't enough left to be able to be pulled. I am now 21. I do not have a back right molar.

Same thing is about to happen to me, will you consider an implant?

When you fall asleep first at the slumber party (rookie mistake)

Had a root canal on my lateral incisor but never got a crown put on it and it's still going strong 20 years later.

Root canaled front teeth generally don't need crowns.

[@thiskneegrow]

Lateral? That's not the correct description.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

@@thiskneegrow lateral incisors are next to the central incisors

[@thiskneegrow]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental maxillary or mandubular? Or you could just say upper or lower 2's. Left or Right? That's what I meant anyway.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

@@thiskneegrow Gotcha.

I had a root canal done at Red Logan, in White River Junction, Vermont. He broke a file inside my tooth, he left my tooth blackened, and I never got a crown. When I questioned the work done I got assaulted by a woman from the next room. Assault is not only illegal, but also she did cross contamination (she was assisting another patient), as well as she violated my medical privacy. End result, I got kicked out for life and my tooth never got properly repaired. Now, I am about to have an oral surgeon remove that tooth.

I remember when I had root canal The dentist was so good they didn’t even use anaesthetic

[@solomongrundy1467]

Was that the dentist from little shop of horrors?

Had the same experience!! I kept telling my doctor that it hurts so bad but she kept telling me wait a little bit longer. Did 4 sessions without being anaesthetic, not even once
